    REVIEW / The Room Next Door (2024) by Pedro Almodóvar. **The Room Next Door (2024)** *Directed by Pedro Almodóvar* This may be the first Pedro Almodóvar film that really disappointed me. Not because it's badly made, Almodóvar doesn't know how to make an ugly film, and The Room Next Door has his usual rich visuals, the gorgeous color palette, the meticulous design. But on the whole, it lacked the probing emotional intensity we associate with him. For a director who built his reputation on raw…

    I enjoyed it. Entirely subjective, obviously. It’s pretty funny that his last 3-4 films have reportedly been his last. Met him in Maui years ago. He was watching women’s boxing with 2 friends. Then ironically Million Dollar Baby was his next film

    Million Dollar Baby. I hate that movie with the fire of a thousand suns because I bought a ticket thinking I was going to watch a sports movie, and instead it was high production value propaganda for Clint Eastwood's belief that disabled lives aren't worth living.

    Million Dollar Baby. I went into it thinking it was a movie about women's boxing, only to be blindsided by the message that disabled lives aren't worth living and people should just die if they become disabled.
